Chapter Eleven.
He stretched his arms, welcoming the freshness of the new morning. His eyes landed on her rooftop, hoping for her presence. Since last night he was more eager to get every possible glimpse of hers. And after a good number of days, or precisely nights.. he had a sound sleep. Even before the sun could make its presence, he had been awake. As his eyes roamed around, he heard the anklet tinkle and his lips curved expecting her arrival. But he was left disappointed as her cousin arrived at the rooftop. His face fell..he couldn't even converse with her at night.. after they found Nimish. Once Nimish was found, she took him along and denied his innumerable requests.. as he asked her to wait a little more. He wanted to make up for everything. But she just couldn't wait back with him. That wasn't possible, it was too late.
"Manik.." His head shot high as her sugary voice reached him. A smile formed across his lips watching her smile shyly. He looked at her dripping wet form.. her wet strands stuck to her face.. while some stuck at the length of her spine.. a few drops scattered here and there on her honey kissed skin. Her blouse seemed to be more revealing than ever.. while the skirt seemed to be defining her slender legs as her hips swayed while she walked.
He took his eyes off her.. and shook his head. Some thoughts are default attachment to a few people. As he reacted, she couldn't help but pout.
Irresistible!! He thought.
"Good morning anyways." She greeted him with her signature smile. "This is not a good way to greet." he complained only to have her brows arched at him questioningly. "I may need to come a little closer for that." He lowered a little, bending on the boundary, trying to reach her.. She could feel the warmth of his lips approaching on her cheeks. She placed her palm on his chest pushing him back a little.. "You aren't doing anything, Manik.." she said and eyes back at her puzzled cousin. "You got to manage with these plain mornings.." she wanted to add a little more, but she thought of it to be good this way. He responded with a pout and left the place, when she had disappeared out of his sight.
He still had to manage with the plain morning greetings.. soothing his eyes as it lingered upon her and holding unto the urge to grab her.

"Manik bhaiyya.." Nimish cried his name as he came running to Manik. And an utterly irritated Manik stood up from his place, warning him, "How many times should I tell you not to call me that?"
"Then what do I call you?" Nimish asked while his hands rested on his hips. "I don't have time for all your drama. Just tell me where can I hide?" He asked looking back again and again.
"Whom are you hiding from?" Manik interrogated him. He was suspicious.
"Monster!" he answered instantly.
Nandini.. He thought of.
"Why is Nandini looking for you? What have you done now?" he tried digging deeper into the matter.
"You ask so many questions. Tell me if you are going to help me or not?" Nimish was about to rush the other side, when Manik pulled him into a room and asked him to hide there. With that he had even asked him not to move out of the room until Manik asked him to.
Later, Manik just waited for her arrival, with a mischievous plan already been cooked in his head.
